Badass Birthday
On this date in 1946 in Pennsylvania, Reggie Jackson was born.
"Mr. October" played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball. He was inducted in the Hall Of Fame on the year he was eligible: 1993.
He helped the Oakland A's win five consecutive American League West divisional titles, three straight American League pennants and three successive World Series wins (72, 73, 73).
He then helped the New York Yankees win four American League East divisional titles, three American League pennants and back to back World Series wins (77 & 78).
He hit 563 career home runs.
He was an American League All-Star in 14 seasons.
He won 2 World Series MVPs.
His teams got to first place in 11 of his 21 seasons, and he only had two losing seasons.
The Yankees retired his number in 1993, the Oakland A's in 2004.
I know football, I don't know much about baseball at all, but even *I* can tell these are badass stastistics!
